"Very good! Big brother, let's start cooking now. Take a look at the ingredients we have at home, and based on the dishes I made before, what do you want to make?"
Cheng Yue gave Cheng Wen a thumbs up and asked.
"Sister, I want to eat fish! Spicy fish, pickled fish, fish slices in fermented rice, braised fish, steamed fish, ..."
Cheng Wen recounted all the fish dishes that Cheng Yue had made before.
Jiang and Gu Xuelan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were surprised again.
Even if they thought about it, they probably couldn't pronounce all the names of the fish dishes that Cheng Yue cooked. Every time there was fish in the meal, Cheng Yue only said the name of the dish once.
Her stupid son (stupid husband) actually wrote down all of it!
Cheng Yue was not surprised at all, as she had heard Cheng Wen talk about delicious food before.
"Brother, we can't do that today. We don't have any fish at home. How about I buy some in town when I get back from my stall?"
Cheng Yue said.
"Okay!"
Cheng Wen nodded.
"Besides fish, what do you want to eat, brother? No, brother, first take a look at the ingredients we have at home."
Cheng Yue pulled Cheng Wen's arm, pointed at the dishes on the chopping board, and said.
"Red-braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, three-fresh soup, shredded potato pancakes, and spicy stir-fried cabbage?"
Cheng Wen looked at the ingredients on the chopping board, and several dishes immediately popped into his mind, and he started to name them.
"Okay! Then, big brother, do you remember how I cut the braised pork when I made it?"
Cheng Yue asked.
"Well, cut it into pieces this long and this square."
Cheng Wen gestured.
"Then big brother, you cut the braised pork first."
Cheng Yue wanted to see first if Cheng Wen could cut.
Before, I only asked Cheng Wen to help cut potatoes and other vegetables.
Cheng Wen took a piece of pork belly and started to move.
Jiang and Gu Xuelan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, also put down their knives and looked at Cheng Wen's hand.
"Sister, it's cut, isn't it like this!"
Soon, Cheng Wen finished cutting.
"Yes, that's right. Then blanch it. Put it in a pot with cold water, add a little rice wine and a slice of ginger, bring it to a boil over high heat, remove it from the pot and wash off the foam."
Cheng Yue told Cheng Wen the steps, and then went straight to the stove door and turned up the fire.
Cheng Wen pursed his lips, looking a little nervous.
But still follow Cheng Yue's steps.
Jiang and Gu Xuelan didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that if they made a sound, Cheng Wen would forget what to do.
"Brother, put oil in this pot over here. One tablespoon is enough. Then add rock sugar. When the rock sugar melts and starts to bubble in the pot, put in the washed meat and stir-fry quickly."
Cheng Yue said again.
Cheng Wen did as he was told.
“Put in the ginger!”
"Stir-fry, add soy sauce, pour hot water, add star anise and salt. Stir-fry evenly and cover the pot!"
Cheng Yue gave Cheng Wen instructions step by step.
Both Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned.
Everyone in Cheng Wen's family knew what kind of situation he was, but he really followed every step Cheng Yue told him to follow, without missing a single step or adding any extra one.
"Sister, am I doing the right thing?"
After Cheng Wen covered the pot, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked at Cheng Yue nervously.
"Brother, don't be nervous. You did it right. That's how you did it. Now, how about you tell me the steps for making braised pork?"
In order to have a normal meal in the evening, Cheng Yue felt it necessary to test Cheng Wen again.
"First……"
Cheng Wen memorized all the steps, not word for word, but he memorized them correctly.
